Subject: RE: LOGISTICS TO PENTICTON??Depends on your budget where to fly. I live in MA and did the race in 2009. Flights can be $300 to 1100 depending where you fly. We wanted to fly SWA as bikes only take $50 each way and living on East Coast Tri bike transport would pick up bike 2 weeks before race. Plus 6 of us went so price was an issue. Some folks fly to Vancouver others to Penticton, or Spokane. If you fly to Penticton, your bike will not go on the plane, they offer bike transport for a fee from Vancouver. We flew to Seattle spent two nights there and drove to Penticton. We took my bike out of bike box, left it the hotel storage room in Seattle as we stayed there again on way back which allowed us to rent a mini van for about 40% of what a big SUV would be needed for 6 people, luggage, and bike box. Flying to Spokane is closer though. |
